NAIVASHA, Kenya (Reuters) - A couple caught having sex in a Kenyan mosque during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan have been sentenced to 18 months jail for what the judge called an "abominable" affront to religion.
Peter Kimani and Jennifer Wairimu pleaded guilty to the charge of having sex in a place of worship after being caught on October 3 at the Abubakar mosque in Gilgil, about 60 miles north of Nairobi. Neither is a Muslim.
A worshipper heading for evening prayers found the couple having sex after investigating what the prosecution described as strange noises emanating from a dark corner of the mosque.
Kimani and Wairimu both pleaded for clemency at Monday's hearing, saying they were too drunk to know where they were. Kimani told the court he thought he was in a lodging house.
John King'ori, senior magistrate in nearby Naivasha, dismissed their plea.
"Having sex in a mosque is a most abominable thing to religion and only a custodial sentence can add justice to this," he said.
I wonder which is a bigger offence, having sex in a mosque or having a pig's head thrown into a mosque during prayers? Just asking.

We ought to make these two honorary Infidels.
And we should get them Mel Gibson's lawyer who will ask for their release claiming that it's not them, it's alcohol that is responsible for what happened.
I hope they enjoyed...lol
I heard it was Foley and Streisand
Streisand was the pitcher.
They what, got the news about the Opie and Anthony show a bit late?
Love the Lewiston pig head story. If any of you know Lewiston you know why I say I don't know what's funnier, the pig's head or the whole idea of there being a mosque in Lewiston.
OK, that's it. Now it's a dare. Come on folks, grab your partner, run over to the local mosque at night and have some fun. I don't think anyone could get in, but let's make it a Very Special Ramadan this year. I'm counting on you guys! Come on. Double dare.
And, make sure to do it doggie style, standing up. Or, something even more obscene.
Up against the door is my vote. Who's in?
How about in prayer position?
